New Crestie Enclosure (DIALUP BEWARE!!!)

Well, my new crestie enclosure is up and running! I think that it looks great, and is my only "real" display enclosure! It's also the first time that I've housed animals together (other than trying to breed my BRBs)

First, I took the enclosure that has been sitting empty for awhile, put black silicone on the back, then spray foam, then brown silicone and covered that with the 'brick mulch' stuff... (yes, I did this over a few days, not one layer after the other in an afternoon!)

Then the cresies!

Look good Brent! I like how your 'great stuff' background came out. When I do it I cut it flat and jagged with a steak knife then add the silicone, I thought it was giving it a natural look, but I like how yours looks by just leaving it to do its thing. Is the silicone sticking allright? I usually have to peel some off and patch it up.

Brent, maybe you should post a step by step instruction encluding supplies used in the caging and housing section.

Looks absolutely fantastic Brent! You've done a fantastic job! And the Crested Geckos seem to like it too - they are gorgeous!
